So long Bernie Sanders

[Rexx Taylor]

Bernie is out? aw! Damn, now we need another 65/70ish horny Democrat to take his place. is Charlie Crisp still thinking of running?

 

[SuperDemocrat]

I bet somewhere in time Hillary endorsed this man.

 

[AmericanFirst1]

Wow, now there's some impressive dirt digging. Someone had to actually scan microfiche to find that shit, now that's dedication.

You would still support the socialist pos to.

 

[Kondor3]

...And why would it do that?...

If you have to ask the question you will not understand the answer.

On the contrary, asking and examining the question is crucial to understanding the issue. Which is why you're digging yourself deeper here -- you haven't taken that step. The article is right there in an image; its meaning is clearly at considerable variance with what the OP, and the link it quoted, said it was.

Burying one's head in the sand won't change that.

...Do you believe women are illiterate?...

Nope. They can read Sanders' gang-rape sentiments for themselves, and make up their own minds.

...I'm thinking more of women who aren't already preprogrammed partisan hacks...

What is a 'preprogrammed partisan hack' in this context? A female Republican, most likely, in your mind. I reject such labeling.

Thanks for answering for me before I could. Sure saves time.

What I mean by PPH is one like the OP, so eager to put points up on her political scoreboard that she didn't bother to stop and vet her source to see if it held water, which in this case wouldn't have passed. When one is predisposed as such, side effects may include blindness.

Back to the top, absolutely women can read and make up their own minds. More to the point here --- so can we.

I also reject the idea that women who object to Sanders' sentiments are nothing more than preprogrammed partisan hacks.

On what basis would they "object" then?
Here again, I've posed this exact same question umpteen times, and gotten exactly zero answers. Which now leads us to...

...Oh wait, I've already asked this question, got a pointed refusal to answer. I keep forgetting.

Only because you keep asking silly follow-up questions which take us further and further away form the core discussion.

Actually it's the same question over and over and over and over. Either a direct answer or an admission that there is no answer would stop the madness.

That being... Bernie Sanders serving-up 'women dream of gang-rape' sentiments... and the likely impact of such revelations on his candidacy.

Except for the inconvenient basic fact -- that being, the above is not what he wrote.

Facts: USMB thead titles -- know the difference. Saves a lot of work.

Off to the latest edit:

Go on record as serving-up such sentiments and you're damned forevermore, once it comes out.

-- and what "such sentiments" would these be?

Oh, it's quite easy, Pogo.

Commit words like that to paper, and you're ruined.

It's a matter of perceptions and emotions, and visceral reaction, and seeds of doubt... not fact.

Once those words left his pen, it was too late to take them back.

And they can now be (1) interpreted as meaning what they said or (2) spin-doctored a half-dozen ways to Sunday - to absolutely destroy him.

You keep chasing after fact.

You're dealing with visceral reactions and emotions here.

Logic has nothing to do with it.

And the reaction of the American People - and American Women in particular - will be sufficiently adverse so as to doom his campaign before it ever got off the ground.

Your boy is toast.

You know it.

I know it.

You're putting up a valiant fight.

But you're doomed to lose it.

You simply don't understand the battleground as well as you need to, on this one, to objectively gauge your boy's prospects.

All of your insistence upon 'answers' and 'fact' and 'logic' and protestations to the contrary notwithstanding.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Dealing with the Human Condition... damned pesky, foolhardy, emotion-driven Humans.

 

[Pogo]

Ah -- I think I get it.

It's not that you think women are illiterate -- it's that you think people are.

Funny how I and anybody who bothered to read it figured it out then innit? Fortunately we're here to lead the ignorami to the font of wisdom.

You're welcome. Don't mention it.

As you like, Pogo.

Time will tell, which of us is right.

...The Conservatives are clearly terrified by Bernie Sander's campaign! Why else would they even be researching him, if they really thought he was an irrelevant Socialist?

Do you REALLY believe that shit you're slinging, there?

REALLY?

Very few others do - at least amongst most folks over the age of ten.

Sanders is just there For Show - to make a pretense that Her Imperial Corruptness, Shrillary, actually has competition for the Democratic nomination.

You're not fooling anybody.

Neither is Sanders.

Especially women... at least, not now, after this revelation.

===================================

Major Excuse-Making Attempt No. 4 - ( "Ya'll must be scared of him, to look that hard" )

Obviously you can't see that I am mocking all the wingnuts who have told us that we Democrats are/were TERRIFIED of:

Sarah Palin
Fred Thompson (remember Fear the Fred?)
Herman Cain
Ted Cruz
etc.

Now - do you actually believe any of those dopes had Democrats the least bit worried?

 

[Synthaholic]

I read the Sanders article. A little reading comprehension goes a long way. In context, he is saying women's sexual fantasies are a reflection of their subservience and that they must break those bonds and become independent. They must stop being so submissive to men.

That's not going to hurt him with the Left one bit.

It will hurt him with those who have a ten second attention span who only hear the part about rape fantasies.

IOW, wingnuts.

Bernie Sanders Once Wrote That Women Fantasize About Being Gang-Raped


Democratic presidential contender Bernie Sanders wrote an essay in 1972 that women fantasize about being raped by multiple men.

“A man goes home and masturbates his typical fantasy. A woman on her knees, a woman tied up, a woman abused,” the Vermont senator wrote in the now-defunct Vermont Freeman. “A woman enjoys intercourse with her man — as she fantasizes being raped by 3 men simultaneously.”


Sanders was 30-years-old at the time of publication.

TheBlaze, founded by Glen Beck

I actually watched a Documentary last night about this topic. It was called, "Kink"

I think Glen Beck was in it.

The modern documentary Kink talks about many Americans oppression of sexuality and the fantasies of many. Including rape.

We are absolutely sexually oppressed and scared to open up. Rape is the opposite rubber band affect of sexual oppression.

A Young Bernie learned this long before America. He wasn't saying he's a rapist. He simply documented that many women fantisize about rape. Which statistically is proven today in polls.

I have had at least 3 girls to ask me to act like I'm raping them. I never did because I wondered if it was due to a strange past. In one case I wondered if she was just going to frame me.

 

[AntiParty]

In the end, we all know Bernie isn't going to win.

We all know he is going to share a perspective no one else is going to share. And a very valuable one.

 

[Interpol]

Leave it to feeble-minded conservatives to confuse the satire that is that essay with Sanders' actual views.

I'll take your word for it, regarding your motives.

Meanwhile... do detractors of Sanders worry the Democrats?

If that's the question, then, my first shoot-from the-hip response is...

"Yes. Or,if not, then they should be." - at least in the context of willingness to use a metaphorical 'smoking gun' to destroy Sanders' candidacy.

Hell, I could very well be wrong, but I don't think I am - I'm fairly confident that this is going to kill whatever slim chance Sanders had, of remaining on his feet, in this race.

We should know, soon enough, in any event.

If I'm wrong, I"m wrong, but...

This old muck - just now raked-up - looks (politically) fatal.

This old muck - just now raked-up - looks (politically) fatal.

And by what definition is it "muck"?

..... and off we go again...

Hell, I could very well be wrong, but I don't think I am - I'm fairly confident that this is going to kill whatever slim chance Sanders had, of remaining on his feet, in this race.

Think about it -- is anyone within a nanometer higher than the comic-book-level demagogue wannabe blogs (and this thread, their doppenganger) -- even mentioning this at all?

When you have to dig all the way past Middle Earth to Glenn Beck and the MRC (and a local alternative paper from 1972) to find your "muck" ..... it's a pretty good indication you're scraping the bottom of the barrel and pretending what you found in there is really beer. This is the reason I'm still subscribed to the MRC propaganda e-mailings. They're hilarious.

Seriously -- anyone who thinks this has actual relevance is probably spending waaaay too much time on the internet, and certainly in their self-imposed bubble.

 

[Kondor3]

...And by what definition is it "muck"?...

Jesus-H-Christ... was it not YOU who used the phrase 'ancient muck-raking' in defense of Sanders, earlier on this thread? Perhaps not. Whatever.

All demagogue bloggers, right?

Not.
In the NY Times article, Sanders HIMSELF has 'recanted' and repudiated and disowned and distanced himself from his earlier writings.

Why?

Because he knows - just like you do (without being able to bring yourself to admit it) - that he's just been pwned.

I take no particular satisfaction from attaining that outcome, this time around.

Jesus-H-Tap-Dancing-Christ-on-a-Crutch, Pogo, I tried to warn you off about this one, but you wouldn't listen, despite repeated attempts.

still doesn't top usurping the presidency though does it ? (heh)

 

[JoeB131]

Nothing to see here...BBBUUUUTTTT BOOOOOOSH!!!!!!

Since Bernie was never going to be the Democratic nominee, i'm not sure what your point is, FatIrishSow....

 

[JoeB131]

Nah. They have pulled some punches on Democrats.

I figure about this time, Mother Jones has the credibility of a wino on skid row...

You mean other than that time they Outed Mitt Romney as a "Fuck the Poor" candidate?
